🥘 How To Make Jamie Oliver Carrot And Ginger Soup

In a big pot, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft.
Add the smashed garlic cloves and carrots to the pot. Cook for another 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and vegetable broth. Mix well and bring to a boil. Then, lower the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Let the soup cool slightly, then carefully transfer it to a blender. Blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids; you may need to blend in batches.
If the soup is too thick, add some water until you reach the desired consistency. Add the maple syrup if you want the soup to be a little sweeter. Serve hot, and garnish with coconut milk if desired.

💭 Recipe Tips:

Chop Evenly: Cut the carrots into the same size pieces. This helps them cook evenly.
Blend Safely: Blend hot soup in small amounts to avoid spills. You can also use a hand blender in the pot.
Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the soup and add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Add Garnish: Top the soup with coconut milk, fresh herbs, or toasted nuts to make it look and taste even better.
